Did you get a HTTP status code with that? I'm guessing 408, meaning the server didn't get (in the case of HTTP/1.1) at least a URL, a Host: header, and a double-linebreak.

I can reproduce the 408 status by telnetting to port 80, sending through a line or two, and waiting for around 30 seconds:

$ telnet www 80
Connected to www.
Escape character is '^]'.
GET / HTTP/1.1
[...]

HTTP/1.1 408 Request Time-out
